Shortly after shattering another world record when he became the only player to score in nine consecutive tournaments, Cristiano Ronaldo is making headlines again for another reason.
Per the tradition of every game, there was a press conference headed by Ronaldo as he answered questions from the press regarding Portugal’s game against Hungary in the ongoing Euro 2020.
When he arrived, he shoved off two Coca-Cola bottles placed in front of him on the table and instead held a bottle of water up high in a way to say water is the best nutrient for the body.
